R E D I C T I O N ...
As
we know that Philippines has great music and until now
the Philippines music like folk music still exist. I think
in the future, if we can't improvise,  the
music in Philippines will be replaced by another kind
of music like pop. And the instruments might be totally
replaced by the modern electrical instruments, such as
electric guitar, musical keyboard, etc.
But I hope with the collaboration among musicians, artists,
and government, the musical instruments and arts can still
be preserved. Some solutions include traditional music
competition and arts competition or efforts to improve
or revive people's interests about the traditional music
and arts in Philippines.
Finally,
I hope with the talents of the young people like us, we
can still enjoy the sound of traditional music instruments
in the future mixed with futuristic sound.

The International Folk Music Council defined folk music as "the
product of a musical tradition that has been evolved through the
process of oral transmission." The term is thus applied to
the musical repertory of communities as opposed to art music or
music composed by trained musicians. It is also applied to music
composed by an individual but which has been absorbed into the
unwritten living tradition of the community. [more...]

to dance or to labor. In later civilizations, instrumental music
was used for entertainment. Present day musicological studies,
following the Hornbostel-Sachs classification, divide instruments
into the following categories: idiophones, aerophones, chordophones,
and membranophones.
